  • In August 2021, the Black Sea region in Turkey was affected by catastrophic flooding, as a series of thunderstorms that began on 7 August 2021 and continued until the 14th in northern Turkey caused several floods and landslides. The water rose to 4 metres (13 ft) in some locations, and the floods have been described as the worst in Turkey's history. At least 81 people died and about 228 more were injured in the floods, and more than 1800 people were evacuated as many people were rescued from rooftops. Reports have shown that at least 454 buildings had sustained significant damage. Bridges were also damaged or destroyed, and the infrastructure of multiple towns were significantly affected. Experts have stated that urbanization and climate change in Turkey have made the floods' worse, although to what extent each factor was responsible has been disputed. As a response to the floods, the government started a disaster relief campaign, which has faced criticism for using donations instead of taxpayer money. Affected provinces were made disaster areas, and financial help was given to those affected. There have been numerous claims of a hydroelectric power plant malfunction during the flood, which the government has denied. Others have claimed that the public was misled by officials before the event, and that the missing count was an undercount; however, neither of these claims have been confirmed. (en)

Погибли 78 человек, 284 пострадали, эвакуировано свыше 1 700 человек. Данные о пропавших без вести различаются, однако сообщается что их количество превышает 100. Пострадавшие от наводнений регионы были объявлены зоной бедствия. Около 300 населённых пунктов оказались без электроэнергии. Министр сельского и лесного хозяйства Турции объявил, что наводнение может стать крупнейшим за последние 50 — 100 лет. (ru)
